When Generosity Helps Preserve Glass History

A night of elegance and philanthropy in support of the Glass Museum Kamenický Šenov

31. 3. 2025

The Preciosa Foundation, in collaboration with RealLocate, organised an exclusive charity auction to support the Glass Museum Kamenický Šenov. The auction featured unique original works crafted by various Preciosa Group companies. The generous proceeds will contribute to the museum’s reconstruction and modernisation.

A remarkable creation by Lukáš Jabůrek and Preciosa Lighting stood out as the highlight of this auction. The Krystal Vase, an iconic masterpiece, seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. Equally attractive was a crystal whiskey bottle with a wooden mould filled with exceptional 15-year-old whiskey from the family-owned Dlabka Distillery.

A unique dress created for Preciosa’s global fashion campaign, debuted at Fashion Week in New York. The new work by renowned painter Petr Písařík-Imagination combines painting with precise glass craft.

A stunning masterpiece that merges traditional crystal craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Each chess piece is hand-melted into wooden molds, meticulously cut, and polished, giving it a unique character. The chessboard is crafted from exquisite red leather.

As a long-time supporter of Czech glassmaking, the Preciosa Foundation hosted a special auction to benefit the Glass Museum in Kamenický Šenov. This historic institution, one of the oldest of its kind, is a true treasure of glassmaking heritage—yet it remains one of the last museums awaiting reconstruction and modernisation.
